Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Consolation
Looking at Bai Na in front of them, these two bachelors felt invigorated to work.
On their days off, Old Liu and Erhu would always help Bai Na take care of the children.
Little Shitou had a great ti playing with these two n.
Though both of them were big n, they loved children.
So overall, Bai Na’s life at the chicken farm was very comfortable.
In Bai Na’s heart, this life was a world apart from her days in the village.
The most important thing was that people respected her here, without the macho attitudes from her village.
Whenever they ate, Old Liu and Erhu always saved the best food for Bai Na, and in daily matters, they would discuss things with her. They even competed to do the dishes and clean the pots.
They did not leave all the chores to Bai Na just because they were n.
Bai Na had now been at the farm for over half a year. After saving her monthly wages, she had more than 1,000 yuan in hand.
This ti she visited Bai Xiao, partly to see him and partly to buy so formula for the children.
And she was also preparing to send so money ho.
Her two younger brothers were still young, and in a couple of years, it would be ti for marriage discussions. Their family ho was still in ruins, leaking when it rained or the wind blew.
If she sent her money back ho, at least her family could build a new house.
With a new house built, it would be much easier for her brothers to find wives.
Back when their family was in dire straits because of her, now that she had so ability, she naturally hoped that her family could live well.
She also hoped her family would respect her, not see her as a burden.
People always hope to be recognized and acknowledged by others.
Bai Xiao took Bai Na to the post office first, as there were no bank transfers back then; she had to send the money ho through the post office.
Bai Na sent 900 yuan back ho.
In the comnts section of the remittance form, Bai Xiao wrote a few words for her, updating her family about her current situation.
Essentially, she was now working in Modu, raising chickens at a chicken farm, with food and lodging provided, and earning a decent wage, so her family needn’t worry.
She also left an address.
Then the two of them went to buy formula at a store; they bought more than ten packs. According to Bai Na’s customs, a child at Little Shitou’s age shouldn’t still need formula.
But Bai Xiao insisted otherwise.
Little Shitou was not even a year old yet; stopping formula so early would harm his future growth and developnt.
Moreover, Bai Na’s life was now stable, and it wasn’t a problem to use her monthly salary to buy formula for the child.
She advised Bai Na to ensure the child continued on formula until he was over two years old.
Bai Na thought for a while and agreed, considering Little Shitou was a premature baby and so frail when he was young. She was afraid he’d be sickly in the future, which wouldn’t be good.
Honestly, over the past year, Little Shitou had grown much sturdier.
He not only ate more but also seldom fell ill.
It probably had sothing to do with the fact that at the chicken farm, he could eat an egg custard every day; the nutrition helped him grow rapidly.
They also bought Little Shitou two sets of clothes; he was growing so fast. The clothes Bai Xiao initially bought for him no longer fit.
Bai Na had no choice but to combine parts of two clothes into one to make do, which he’d been wearing until now.
With such a good opportunity this ti, she naturally wanted to hurry and buy him so new clothes.
Seeing the cigarettes and liquor in the store, Bai Na bought two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor.
“Who are these for?”
Bai Xiao was curious; she knew Bai Na didn’t have such habits and wasn’t soone who spent money carelessly. Those items cost quite a bit.
Bai Na blushed and answered a bit awkwardly.
“It’s for Old Liu and Erhu. They’ve been taking good care of and my child. Since I’ve co to the city, I thought I’d get them sothing nice, as they are wage earners and don’t need much. They might appreciate cigarettes and liquor.”
Bai Xiao teased her, “Bai Na, be honest. Do you like soone? Or does soone like you?” She noticed quite a change in Bai Na over the last half year.
Though initially tanned and rugged from labor in the village, Bai Na was young, and after being here without harsh conditions, her complexion had lightened.
Not only had her skin lightened, but she also had grown, and with so weight gain, her figure beca more shapely. Her once straw-like hair was now a glossy black, with two braids making her look surprisingly beautiful.
Bai Na shook her head, “Not at all! Doctor Bai, that’s not it. I’m just a single mother. I never hoped to find anyone. All I want is to raise my child well. Now that life is finally good, do I really want to bring trouble upon myself?”
Experience often teaches a lesson.
She was likely scared by the heartless Weng Jiefang.
Bai Xiao walked alongside her, offering advice, “Don’t categorize everyone the sa way. You are still young. Not marrying just isn’t right. Even if you’re not worried, think about your parents and siblings; they would be concerned.
The child is young and doesn’t understand now, but if you et a suitable man who accepts both you and the child, why not remarry? Good n do exist.
What will you say when the child grows and asks why others have a father, and he doesn’t? Also, given your age, if you don’t find soone, isn’t it a waste of your youthful years?
Such a beautiful girl; if you decide to marry, there’ll be many n eager to marry you.
Now you can earn your own wages. If you encounter soone unsuitable, you can just leave him. You’re capable of supporting yourself and the child; what’s there to fear?”
It would be unfair to Bai Na if this vibrant, lovely young woman wasted her life by never remarrying.
Bai Na remained silent, sowhat pensive.
When they got back, the little one had woken up, but he didn’t cry for his mom in the unfamiliar setting, a boon from him not being shy to strangers.
Bai Xiao packed up a heap of items for Bai Na, as they lacked various supplies despite having vegetables.
She gave her two cans of malted milk drink and several cans, not only fruit cans but luncheon at as well, which An Zhiyuan provided, since they usually ate at work and cooked little at ho.
They gathered a large quantity of things.
Bai Na took quite a bit.
At exactly five o’clock, Old Liu t Bai Na at the roadside with the feed truck.
